Is There Any Way To Expand All Posts In A Topic?

[chumley]

Is there any way to expand all posts in a topic? This forum seems to be a great resource, but I find it really annoying to have to click and wait for a page load for every single post. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Go to the 'options' button right under "new topic" and click it to standard.

Much appreciated, thank you!

I don't see any 'options' button. There used to be one under the old format. I also prefer to see all the posts in a thread at one time. I can see them now that I hit 'reply' - they are at the bottom of my screen in 'summary' format, but I can't seem to get to there without replying.

Edit/Update: see DARN210's directions. They worked!

Thank you soooo much Janet!! I would never have known, and I'm decent at navigating web stuff. I was ready to start clicking everywhere, but I was afraid I would end up accidentally reporting someone or something...

It's funny - if it's 'Standard' - how come it wasn't the default? It shouldn't be called 'Standard' then, right...?

There is no topic display mode to select. I hate all these changes with no information on how to set it they way you want it without them changing it again!!!!! GRRRR!!!!!!!!!
